If I get a 3DS (preferably XL because the screens are so big and better battery) I will get X and 4 other Pokémon games. Plus other games, mainly RPGs (they are one of my biggest weaknesses ahaha -w-).

I never had Pokémon cards in my life, haha. And I'm not really interested in them either.

Wow man, all of the dumb stuff that comes up when you google it like meme cards, bootleg cards with non-canon designs... XDBut I did get a good look at legit cards and I see what people mean, although a lot of them are just 3D images?

Ah, I see. I don't have them anymore but I remember one of the cards featured Squirtle with his glasses. Only Pokémon stuff I have now are a bandanna, the second movie on VHS and plastic glass I use to keep all my brushes for painting (I have like 30 brushes and I rarely paint traditionally, I'm not good at it orz). I used to have coloring books, a poster featuring all Pokémon in first and second gen I think, a pen featuring Pikachu, a lot of stickers and maybe other stuff... but these are all I remember. Oh, and I got a few little plastic pieces with stickers of Pokémon from my friend when I was 10 but they were thrown away. I had Salamence, Whiscash, Walrein and Tentacruel and I kept laughing at Whiscash because of its name. I've never owned a Pokémon game though but I really want a 3DS so I can play some of the DS Pokémon games released and Pokémon X ;w;I also really want Pokémon Colosseum because I got a GameCube last year.

I have a step by step shots and description on tumblr I made about month ago but not for this painting and style...Here if you're interested [link]

I've changed the way I work since I did the piece in the post, now I normally merge all of the layers, duplicate(because I'm paranoid -W-; ) and work on that layer, it saves memory and blending the colors is much more fun that way because you're working straight on the image. I also do that because that way I can easily fix mistakes I didn't spot before with the transformation tool.
